Notes in Spring 2024

In writing about writing, I’ve reviewed Catherine Leroux’s The Future (translated from the French by Susan Ouriou) for PRISM international.

In reading about writing, I have been enjoying the witty and accomplished Fay Weldon’s Why Will No-One Publish My Novel?.

In reading about reading, I’m revisiting Lorna Sage’s essays about women writers; on my first reading, I was relatively unfamiliar with the books she discusses but this time nearly all of them are books I’ve read and admired.

And, in writing about reading, I’m working on a piece about some of the pivotal books I read when I was young, books written for older children, in what would quickly become the oh-so-profitable YA market.

The winter is a memory already, the spring now fully formed, verdant and vital.
